Last month my family, my husband and I visited the zoo in Tulsa, Oklahoma. I was afraid I just couldn’t hide my excitement as it had been five years since I had been to the zoo. I was especially excited about getting to see the penguin exhibit that was completed since my last visit. I thought it would be just as magical as it was the last time.

The Tulsa Zoo is located on Mohawk Park, and covers 84 acres, making it the third largest zoo in the US. The zoo has several highlights, but I have to admit that I found myself rather disappointed. The maintenance is deeply lacking, and most of the exhibits, landscaping, etc. looked like it had not been updated or well kept. Unfortunately, their polar bear died a short time ago. The strangest attraction was the missing-in-action jaguar (美洲虎). We spent several minutes searching for the animal without any luck. In most cases the zoo was good about putting up a sign if the animal was no longer there or was moved to a different location, but it was a different case with the jaguar and likewise the kangaroo.

Almost all of the hands-on equipment in the elephant encounter was broken and no longer working. Although the zoo did put up signs as an apology, it continued to add to the feeling that the zoo is approaching death. The one exhibit that did not fail to impress was the African Penguins. Their habitat was well built. The lion, bear, and tiger were also easy to watch. A favorite among the kids was clearly the monkeys who were very active and eager to put on a show.

The Tropical Rainforest did a very good job creating a special atmosphere. The cafe served very good food and had lovely indoor and outdoor areas for eating. They are currently re-designing the Sea Lion exhibit, so the Sea Lions were not available for viewing while we were there. All things considered, the Tulsa Zoo is still the best zoo in our area, but I would only award it three out of five stars.

1.Seeing several highlights in the Tulsa Zoo, the author _________.

A. felt very excited

B. was a little frightened

C. was not satisfied with them

D. thought it was worth seeing

2.Why did the author think it was a different case with the jaguar?

A. Because the jaguar was friendly to the kangaroo and visitors.

B. Because the zoo didn’t use a sign to show if the jaguar was there.

C. Because the jaguar is very dangerous compared with other animals.

D. Because the jaguar had disappeared when the author got there.

3.What does the author think of the Tulsa Zoo in general?

A. It is a first class zoo in her area.

B. It is the best zoo in the US.

C. She thinks very poorly of it.

D. She thinks nothing of it.

How can you expect him to make any improvement ________you never give him an opportunity to have a try?

A. unless B. when C. until D. while

EDGEWOOD-Every morning at Dixie Heights High School, customers pour into a special experiment: the district's first coffee shop run mostly by students with special learning needs.

Well before classes start, students and teachers order Lattes, Cappuccinos and Hot Chocolates. Then, during the first period, teachers call in orders on their room phones, and students make deliveries. By closing time at 9.20 a.m., the shop usually sells 90 drinks.

"Whoever made the chi tea, Ms. Schatzman says it was good," Christy McKinley, a second year student, announced recently, after hanging up with the teacher.

The shop is called the Dixie PIT, which stands for Power in Transition. Although some of the students are not disabled, many are, and the PIT helps them prepare for life after high school.

They learn not only how to run a coffee shop but also how to deal with their affairs. They keep a timecard and receive paychecks, which they keep in check registers.

Special-education teachers Kim Chevalier and Sue Casey introduced the Dixie PIT from a similar program at Kennesaw Mountain High School in Georgia.

Not that it was easy. Chevalier's first problem to overcome was product-related. Should schools be selling coffee? What about sugar content?

Kenton County Food Service Director Ginger Gray helped. She made sure all the drinks, which use non-fat milk, fell within nutrition (营养) guidelines.

The whole school has joined in to help.

Teachers agreed to give up their l ounge (休息室) in the mornings. Art students painted the name of the shop on the wall. Business students designed the paychecks. The basketball team helped pay for cups.

1.What is the text mainly about?

A. A best-selling coffee.

B. A special educational program.

C. Government support for schools.

D. A new type of teacher-student relationship.

2.The Dixie PIT program was introduced in order to _____.

A. raise money for school affairs

B. do some research on nutrition

C. develop students' practical skills

D. supply teachers with drinks

3.How did Christy McKinley know Ms. Schatzman's opinion of the chi tea?

A. She met her in the shop.

B. She heard her telling others.

C. She talked to her on the phone.

D. She went to her office to deliver the tea.

4.We know from the text that Ginger Gray _____.

A. manages the Dixie P1T program in Kenton County

B. sees that the drinks meet health standards

C. teaches at Dixie Heights High School

D. owns the school's coffee shop

5.Where can we usually read this passage？

“How did Norman know, Sister Emma?”

“He overheard you and Aryan arguing. I suspect that he purposely overheard on you. Norman knew or concluded what profession Aryan practiced. He might well have followed Aryan on his explorations. Whether he did or not is beside the point. When Aryan came back yesterday afternoon, Norman certainly decided that he had made some find, for Aryan told Norman that he would be leaving for the capital to meet the detective the next morning. He probably followed Aryan to your room and overheard what passed between you.

“Since you could not act against the law of man and God, he would serve a natural justice in his own way. He took the jar of poison hemlock from the chemistry shop and when Aryan asked for a drink, he supplied it. Norman did not know the precise quantity needed and so Aryan did not suffer the full effects until after the bell called the community into the dining hall for the evening meal.”

Abbess was following Sister Emma closely.

“And then?”

“Then I began my investigation, and then the detective arrived seeking Aryan for an explanation for his death.”

“But who killed Norman?”

“Norman knew that sooner or later he would be discovered. But more importantly in his guileless (坦率的) mind there was also the guilt of having taken a man’s life to be considered. Norman was a simple man. He decided that he should accept the punishment—the honor-price of a life. What greater honor-price for the life of Aryan could he offer than his own? He also took a draught of poison hemlock.”

There was a pause.

1.What may have happened to Aryan?

A. He was killed by poison.

B. He was found missing.

C. He was poisoned but saved.

D. He went away with what he had found.

2.What did Abbess do according to Sister Emma when Aryan came back?

A. She talked with Aryan about Norman’s strange actions. .

B. She secretly discussed with Aryan about something secret.

C. She followed the two men and found what they were doing.

D. She let Sister Emma help find out the two men’s secret.

3.What can we conclude from the above story?

A. Abbess served the detective.

B. Emma knows all the people mentioned.

C. Aryan was sent to kill Abbess but failed.

D. Norman seemed very devoted to Abbess.

4.Which of the following might be true according to the above passage?
